Twitter Web Traffic Around the World
Twitter's traffic comes from SMS, Instant Message, Mobile Web, and all those wonderful API projects out there. However, we also have good old-fashioned web traffic. 60% of our web traffic comes from outside the United States and this chart shows the top ten non-US sources.
Update: Remember this is just web traffic. It doesn't include any of the other popular ways that people use Twitter. For example, Australia ranks 6th if we look at SMS usage. We'd get altogether different numbers if we looked at instant messaging, m.twitter.com, and API devices such as Twitterrific.

Where's Australia !?!?
Where's Australia?
I'm with Nathanael. Where is Australia. We have a very happening Twitter community down here.
-funkycoda-
I'm curious. What does Twitter use to track web traffic? Google Analytics? Doesn't look like one of their graphs.
Seriously. We have regular twitter usergroup meet-ups in every major capital city in Australia ... and we don't even get a mention on your usage stats graph.
We're hurtin' ...
All your Twitter are belong to Japanese.
whew, germany only 3.6% of all? at least we seem to pwn #hashtags (btw, where’s #australia?)
Aside from Australia missing, where is India?
Enough traffic to add a shortcode (5566511) but not enough to make the graph? :)
can somebody stop this f*cking madness? Just try to restore an account...
cant get in touch with twitter

Dear Australia,
We love you. But we had to choose a cut-off point for this particular chart, which we hastily put at 10 -- i.e., the top 10 countries outside the U.S. by twitter.com visits. Currently, Australia is number 12.
Try harder! :)
what's your top 10 country break down for SMS?
With Australia's population ~21 million, surely Australia would make it on a per capita basis.
And Ev, we would be using it more, but you know, ONLY ALLOW 250SMS A WEEK kinda stifles that.
Blain et al, can you post the SMS and client twitter apps data by country? Would be hugely useful. Thanks!
Not to mention SMS updates to an international number (which cost me an additional $35 on my phone bill last month just for Twitter updates)!!
Seeing as how 60% of the traffic is non-US, how about posting maintenance times in UTC or something that the rest of us have a hope of converting to local time?
where is thailand?? :-)
Andrew, I sent in a suggestion to the Twitter dev crew about a month or so back ... suggesting that they go one better than that - they know our timezones (as we set it in Account settings page) so they can just calculate and display maintenance and outage times in our own local time.
I did get a response back - I believe it's being considered.
Australia?
I notices that JP zone has the most chatter happening on the Publix timelines.. This was createing a lot of noise within my webclips of GDS..
so tis no supraise that intl is now about 60%. I know a lot of peeps in India now jumping onto twitter- so US numbers will go down.. however
what is more important is volume between US vs Int'l - who is really twittering more, rather then just membership
After the Japanese Spaniards with a 11% ... And growing!
Thank you.
Después de los japoneses los españoles con un 11% ... y creciendo!!
Un saludo.
Where is Russia?
Here we have quite a big and active twitter community.
Me parece increible que España esté en segundo lugar despues de Japón xD
Does anyone know this kind of plot tool for these statistics? Looks great!
@wttm all the graphs we've shown recently were made using Apple's Numbers program. The styles have been tweaked some from the defaults.
Where is Chile?
Where's Monrovia?
With twitter becoming more popular - it becomes more vulnerable... an application for stalking people?
